Lets see how to make the multipurpose batter

To begin, take a mixing bowl and add one cup of black gram.

Next, take four cups of idli rice, wash it two times, and soak it in water for at least four hours. If you are using a mixer instead of a grinder, only use three cups of idli rice.

Grind the soaked black gram first, and once it becomes soft, remove it from the grinder.

Now, remove the black gram batter and add the soaked idli rice
-
Grind until soft

Mix both the batter with your hands and let it ferment for 8 hours
